A crew of four people who stole dozens of cigarette cartons from a delivery van outside a Pleasant Hill 7Eleven store at 601 Patterson Boulevard led police air and ground units on a twisty chase north into Antioch – where they were taken into custody after colliding with a fence.
Pleasant Hill police responded to a call for assistance at the store at 2:22pm, a shaken delivery man reporting he was robbed by three masked and hooded individuals, a fourth waiting in a nearby car.
Police alerted neighboring jurisdictions of the robbery along with a description of a getaway car and, at 2:57pm, Antioch police were advised the vehicle had crashed into a fence near the intersection of F Street and 13th.
Officers advised their dispatch that the suspects fled from the car on foot and neighboring agencies, supported by a law enforcement helicopter, flooded the area to take the suspects into custody.
No smoking in county.
Lol you’re right
Stole dozens of cigarettes valued at dozens of dollars? Not Wharton dropouts. These were hardened criminals without white-shoe representation.
Filthy habit.
Hahaha. Dozens of cigarettes? Not a good ROI considering all the fees they have to pay now!
According to the interweb the avg cost in CA is about $11 a pack.
“A carton of cigarettes is a packaged box containing 10 packs of cigarettes. On average, one carton of cigarettes typically costs between $30 and $60 in the United States.”
These guys ain’t “Good Fellas”. I believe the correct method is collect driver license, make threat, steal truck, pay respects to Paulie.
Oh man I was just in room 9 with these guys. All makes sense now
